Children’s Dream – Dennis Eden and Son
Race small rally cars around a figure-of-eight track
Operator: Dennis Eden und Sohn (Wittmund/Ardorf)
Kindertraum Eden by Dennis Eden and Son is a children's ride with an unusual route: instead of simply going round in a circle, small vehicles travel along a figure-of-eight loop. This classic, formerly known as “Kindertraum – Rally Truck”, turns a first funfair ride into a little adventure on wheels. Its colourful fleet is aimed at young visitors who would rather sit in a vehicle themselves than experience a big roller coaster.

Highlights & records
Figure-eight ride track with colourful children's vehicles; formerly called Rally Truck.
Eden's Children's Dream combines a classic children's ride with an unusual figure-eight loop and a long family history.
What makes Kindertraum so distinctive?
Its distinguishing feature is the combination of colourful children's cars and the figure-eight track. Unlike a traditional horse carousel, the layout of the track shapes the ride here. The rally theme is therefore not just decoration but closely linked to how the ride works. For visitors specifically looking for the former Rally Truck, today's Kindertraum Eden is the same ride.
This is what it’s like to ride Kindertraum Eden
The vehicles follow a closed track shaped like a figure of eight lying on its side. This makes each circuit feel more varied than on a simple children’s carousel: sometimes the vehicle approaches a bend, and sometimes it travels over a gentle rise or dip. The view from the little cars is especially appealing, as children can follow the track ahead and watch the other vehicles. The “Rally Truck” theme suits the feeling of a little vehicle tour.
The focus is not on a high-speed thrill, but on the experience of taking a ride of your own. Parents and companions can watch from the outside and see the next round from a different perspective. The car-shaped design is a distinctive feature, especially for children who already enjoy cars and vehicles.

History of Kindertraum Eden
The ride dates from 1995 and was built by Strempel. In the Ride-Index ride database, the attraction is listed as the “8-loop”. The former name “Kindertraum – Rally Truck” is also documented there. This makes it possible to distinguish this ride from other children’s carousels that also bear the name Kindertraum.
Another notable feature is its family history: according to the database, the ride was passed down within the family. It therefore remained with the Eden showman family rather than travelling under different names with various operators. This is important when identifying historical photographs and old line-ups of rides.

Who is the ride suitable for?
Kindertraum is aimed primarily at families with younger funfair visitors. If you are looking for a ride with vehicles, you will find a different type of movement here from the usual round rides. The changing viewpoints mean that children see different parts of the fairground as they go round. The ride system remains straightforward: the cars travel along a fixed track and return to their starting point.
Parents should check the rules for riding and any requirements for accompanying children directly at the ride. The signs on site are decisive. You can find an overview of more attractions of this kind in our attraction overview.
